Memoirs of a Jew (b. 1926) from Berezne, Ukraine. Describes the German occupation in 1941. He and his father, Avraham Ya'akov, were sent to the Kostopol labor camp, and one day were marched into the nearby forest to be shot to death. Brayer's father started a revolt by knocking down the commander of the operation and taking his gun; many Jews were killed, but some managed to escape, including Brayer, who returned to Berezne and hid with his three siblings on a farm. His father returned as well, and the family joined a Jewish partisan group in the forest, carrying out sabotage activities. In spring 1943 his father was killed by a Ukrainian gang; Brayer and his siblings were liberated in January 1944. He emigrated to Palestine in 1946
